Market first – because it was remarkable.
As in remarkably bad.
Whether we will do a public post here on Urban will depend on whether we get “glowing reports” about the coming weekend. Because that’s when the world could really take a “smoke break.”
To keep things in perspective? It feels less like triumph than vertigo. We were not predicting “stocks might go down someday.” We identified compression, explained how flags and pennants store energy, and waited to see which side failed. At Wednesday’s close, the market answered: down.
The Dow lost 1,129 points, or 2.14%; the S&P 500 fell 1.50%; and the Nasdaq dropped 1.68%, leaving it roughly 9% beneath its June record. More telling than the percentages was the action: an attempted afternoon recovery failed, selling returned, and the indexes finished near their lows. That is exactly how a bearish continuation structure is supposed to resolve.
Yet we cannot stamp COLLAPSE CONFIRMED on it yet. This was a break – a hard one with a lot more down (says the theory side) immediately ahead.
However, because we counted this as a complex Wave 2 this means any coming (after we drop to the 200 DMA – or lower) should be a short violent rally.
Then we begin free-fall of Fall.
Collapse requires follow-through: another weak session, failure to reclaim the lower pattern boundary, worsening breadth, and selling spreading beyond the AI/chip leadership. OK, and China balling up in the power void and taking chips off the table…
A sharp recovery back inside the pattern would convert today into a bear trap. Rising oil and long-term interest rates make that recovery harder, because they simultaneously pressure inflation, growth and expensive equities.
Like I said in the Peoplenomics charts today: Wait and Watch mode.
Then Something Amazing Happened
That missing green IBM Selectric, which according to package records online at USPS is still in Denver had a “redelivery attempted” note in my mailbox Wednesday.
I know something is deeply wrong. Because Elaine and I were both home all day, up and down our county road talking toe the linemen putting in new power poles. To claim it was a RE delivery? Um, NO.
We are home every day and we love our carriers. Odds are better than even? This is a high-end butt covering because we live in a world where no one owns their mistakes anymore.
However, you can’t spend half a century in mahogany foxholes and newsrooms and not know how to chew someone’s butt.
So stand by for the floor show when I show up tomorrow to pick up the “Delivery Attempted” item.
I feel like Remo Williams. “The Adventure Continues.” Maybe when the nukes go off, we will have a moment to sit back as ask, “Say, what about that Fort Knox audit???”
Write when you leap a tall building, or something,

Refund issued. You’re going to wind up with a free Selectric, and you’re going to COMPLAIN about it?! Oh, well.
My fishing shirts have left SanFran for the second time. Time will tell if they went East or West.
“Glowing reports”…”smoke break’… I hate ominous puns. Flash goggles and geiger counter ready.
Kilauea erupted in the dark last night. Done now. Hunkering in closed house with A/C running with south winds and rain being sucked up north as Fausto passes. Warm, wet, and vog… (cough, cough)
Was today the first chapter of a serialized Minsky moment?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsky_moment
Golden horses!
“President Donald Trump offered Americans a first look at the newly regilded Arts of War sculptures in Washington, DC, as crews began removing the towering scaffolding that concealed the iconic golden horses during months of restoration work.”
https://nypost.com/2026/07/29/us-news/trump-gives-first-look-of-gold-makeover-to-iconic-arts-of-war-dc-sculptures/
G.A. STEWART: In my books, after they pull Donald J. Trump from office, this is where The Second American Civil War begins.
The social engineers used Donald J. Trump to create any enemy. I am also quite sure that it will be Donald J. Trump who initiates gun and gold confiscation as well as Martial Law. He has been designed to be the Megalomaniac Bad Guy who loves gold… Goldfinger…
And considering the Donald J. Trump, Jeffrey Epstein connection, Shirley Bassie’s words thus are very appropriate.

Satanic pedophiles infatuation with GOLD is “psychological camoflage”
Subconsciously trying to cover up/over All the dark stains on his forfeit soul.
Absolute SHIT stain on USA, and I thought bribem was an idiot..
Holy Shit, this orange homo is truly an IDIOT.
Congratulations MAGA peeps – You have MADE AMERICA GAY AGAIN.
Yerp – these are the folks that are gonna take it to Iran -https://youtu.be/ptTc17stBkw?
What a F-ing DISASTOR !
who are the social engineers? as the presidents that oppose, the global bankers get shot, past and present president. In my opinion stewart is part of that clic, maybe he is just bent that way or maybe he is a MKULTRA mind control victim, as he has been involved in many gov jobs, a source for the deep state to draw upon on social experimentation.
His continued TDS rants are stong indications.
the miss in Butler Penn, caused many sets of underware to fill with
“OH SHIT “,,, it was a planned asassination, from your social enineering groups. They even had a guy front and center with camera set to high shutter speed to catch his brains being blown out, 1st rally CNN covered, how coincidental,,, THEY MISSED
when ya find yourself in a hole, stop digging and plead the 5th, over and over
You’re the brainwashed moron, like so many Trump supporters.
Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rand Paul, Tucker Carlson, all probably traitors in your world.
This country has to find a way to work around the lowest common denominators like you.
did candice [ADM CALLS TIME OUT – we don’t do ad hominem so take it outside…this is escalating faster than Persians and Jews… breathe deep the gathering gloom…etc. Tuesday then?]
OK Mr Ure, as I am the brainwashed moron and lowest common denominator,, it goes uncensored, as you offer protection for the guy that started an arguement with a woman in a cafe, cause’ she was wearing a MAGA hat, as stewie had to attack her verbally
bad mouthed her looks for looking younger than he felt she is,, ad hominem?
but is it really persians vs jews or is it both nations are controlled by the same group of puppet masters?
bankers?
I only mention a 2 of the shit stirrers that stewie left off his list, thought it was an over sight on his part,,
judas goats is exactly how I feel about them, stew included.
division creators they are!
time will tell
Shooters SHOOT .
They do not miss – ever, as it is a Life or Death bargain.
Maybe not mkultra’D, but we certainly have at least one from DIA’s mirrored program montauge?chaos? on this board.
No Names, but rest assured the New Cockatoo at the Zoo is not one of those broken minds from the china lake area/program.
(“, “Say, what about that Fort Knox audit???”)
lol lol..what about DOGE…. it weirdly got quiet after they discovered that trillions of our deficit has been mismanaged…lol lol..
can you add two things together?
DOGE was an audit of USAid, funds were shut off
now the democrat party has cash flow troubles,,, hummm
“The Democratic Party is so short on cash that leaders at its headquarters have undertaken a new gambit to mask the severity of the problems: asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm elections. The bookkeeping maneuver, which was described by three people briefed on it, is the latest sign of financial duress for the Democratic National Committee and its embattled leader as money troubles threaten to undercut Democratic momentum with 100 days until the midterms.”

Latest sign of cognitive dissonance duress amongst Trump supporters, thousands dying due to DOGE’s US Aid cuts:
https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-documentary/the-shutdown-of-usaid-has-already-killed-hundreds-of-thousands
‘We are now witnessing what the historian Richard Rhodes termed “public man-made death,” which, he observed, has been perhaps the most overlooked cause of mortality in the last century. Brooke Nichols, the Boston University epidemiologist and mathematical modeller, has maintained a respected tracker of current impact. The model is conservative, assuming, for example, that the State Department will fully sustain the programs that remain. As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.
‘The toll is appalling and will continue to grow. But these losses will be harder to see than those of war. For one, they unfold slowly. When H.I.V. or tuberculosis goes untested, unprevented, or inadequately treated, months or years can pass before a person dies. The same is true for deaths from vaccine-preventable illnesses. Another difficulty is that the deaths are scattered. Suppose the sudden withdrawal of aid raises a country’s under-five death rate from three per cent to four per cent. That would be a one-third increase in deaths, but hard to appreciate simply by looking around.’
soooo, ya have zero hard data, just a model,, models are man made, a shiny thing to control your awarness, with a poison apple,,,
cognitive dissonance, as your baby the DNC is the staving creation,, lacking it’s kickback from USAid funding,, FRAUD is THEFT of USA tax dollars
you drain the swamp by stopping cash inflows, as the swamp creatures need funding,,, do you need a 5th to help with your sorrows? or did ouchie fauci use them all.
it is going to be ruff on you for a while, 2 more yrs of swamp draining , then ‘maybe’ 4 more yrs of your tears,
I get every morn and say thank you to the Creator and sing
Zipptiy do dah, what a wonderful day,,, join me

Here’s some hard data for you, obd:
https://pepfar.impactcounter.com/
https://tb.impactcounter.com/
https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/media/som/news/news-logos/BU-researcher-warns-of-367,000-deaths-from-halted-USAID-programs_.pdf
Those calculations developed into the Impact Counter, an online dashboard launched in early February that estimates deaths caused by the Trump administration’s cuts to 83percent of USAID grants, or $7.7 billion in resources.Nichols’s estimates, which focused on 42 percent of the former USAID budget, found
that, as of June 26, 332,553 people have died worldwide, including 224,575 children.
The U.S. will also have excess deaths due to Medicaid cuts:
https://ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/research-updates/research-memo-projected-mortality-impacts-of-the-budget-reconciliation-bill/
‘The researchers project that implementation of the retractions outlined in the reconciliation bill would result in more than 42,500 deaths annually.
Additionally, the proposed bill fails to extend the Enhanced ACA Premium Tax Credits. Including that impact, the researchers project that these changes will result in over 51,000 preventable deaths.’
viewed your links,,,the acceptance of projections and estimates in place of hard data is problematic, but go ahead and dance like they are real
When are you gonna pull Ure head out of Ure ASS ?
usaid was/is christians in action front – 100%
– dont ask how I know, because I have been there and DONE that. Best friend(childhood) was latest to “retire” and go work for that org..passing out money to Afgani Tribesmen for their “support”. Which was a much better gig than Army SF operating in Trashganastan.
Above projections are same as all the other Projected bullshit from the left.
Without before numbers/statistics to compare against current stats, and also against the numbers taken during the programs operation. 3 Sets of figure/stats comparison would yield a very rough Estimate, but at least there would be a modicum of accuracy in that Estimate.
BS meter is bbbBuzzing, seems to have a nasty reaction to Ure nonsense. Oh well – is kinda fun imagining the Person behind such BS…hmmmm
The Man -https://youtu.be/w3xcybdis1k?
I occasionally ship guns via the USPS (yes, it is legal under certain conditions) and usually ship Flat Rate. Packages arrive usually within 3-4 days. Last year I shipped out a pistol from Florida to Pennsylvania. After about a week the tracking showed it in Missouri. After 2 weeks the buyer was getting worried ($900 pistol and he didn’t want to pay extra for insurance – poor choice) and tracking still showed it stuck in Missouri. After 3 weeks, I notified USPS and they supposedly instituted a trace. After 5 weeks it was finally delivered. Relief on all sides.
